Is this a quiz for everybody?

I know what Number 7 is but haven't posted because I wasn't on when this quiz started, but if you're giving out clues I can maybe fill in the answer if nobody gets it.

lol, of course it's for everybody - feel free to post your answer.


EDIT: @Antiriad - I think I managed to avoid it, but some of the letters MAY have come from promotional material/posters/instructions etc, so that might account for slightly different colouring etc. Havign looked it up again, I'm pretty sure I took the Z from Amiga box of Fantasy World Dizzy. (The other Z is of course frmo Zoom! on the Megadrive).

I might do another quiz using characters from Japanese titles, to test the hardcore experts, but I'm not sure this is the forum for that.
